feat(netbird): carry the WAN client address through the passthrough edge

TLS-passthrough services hand Traefik a raw TCP stream, so every WAN request now logs the routing peer's pod IP (10.244.4.64/.112 in the access log) instead of the client. CrowdSec's detection parses exactly that log; with the HTTP-mode services gone it would attribute every external request to two pod IPs, and a re-armed bouncer would repeat the 2026-06-27 mass ban. The controller now sets options.proxy_protocol on every target (PROXY protocol v2, TCP/TLS modes only per NetBird) and treats a service without it as out of date, so the eleven existing services are updated on the next pass. Traefik's websecure entrypoint accepts the header from the pod CIDRs, mirroring forwardedHeaders.trustedIPs. Traefik takes connections with or without a header from a trusted IP, so mesh and LAN traffic that carries none is unaffected and the Traefik change can land before the controller image.

+  # but quietly swapped github.com on the critical path for something strictly
+  # worse: a registry that by definition does not exist during a recovery. The

+"""netbird-proxy-services: reconcile NetBird reverse-proxy services from Ingresses.
+
+Source of truth: every Ingress carrying the public label (dns.renner.uno/public).
+For each host on such an Ingress the NetBird management gets one reverse-proxy
+service in TLS-passthrough mode on :443, targeting Traefik's ClusterIP through a
+subnet resource that covers the cluster's service CIDR. SNI and Host reach
+Traefik untouched, the proxy terminates nothing, and no domain resource is
+involved -- the routing peers stay ordinary IP routers. The target sends a
+PROXY protocol v2 header so Traefik (and CrowdSec behind its access log) sees
+the WAN client address instead of the routing peer's pod IP.
+
+Ownership is derived from NetBird itself, not from local state: a service is
+managed iff its mode is "tls" and its target is this controller's subnet
+resource. Services that do not match (the hand-made HTTP/domain ones) are never
+touched; a desired host held by such a service is reported and skipped until
+that service is removed by hand.
+
+Credentials: the NetBird PAT is read from OpenBao on every pass through the
+Kubernetes auth role, exactly like the setup-key rotator; it never lands in a
+Kubernetes Secret or in a log line.

+# Cilium: one owner
+
+## The rule
+
+Cilium is owned by **Flux**, through `infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml`.
+Talos provides the conditions for a CNI and nothing else. Never both.
+
+Talos-only would also be a valid answer — it is the simpler one, and it keeps a
+cold rebuild self-forming. It is rejected here only because it costs Flux's
+reconciliation, image automation and value ergonomics for the one component
+most likely to need a careful, reviewed change.
+
+## Where we are
+
+Both own it, which is the state this document exists to end.
+
+- 22 Cilium objects are listed in the `talos-bootstrap-manifests-inventory`
+  ConfigMap: both DaemonSets, the operator Deployment, both ConfigMaps, the
+  ServiceAccounts, the ClusterRoles/Bindings and the `cilium-secrets`
+  namespace. That is the whole installation, not a fragment.
+- The same objects carry `meta.helm.sh/release-name: cilium`.
+- `cilium-config` has three field managers: `helm-controller`, `talos` and
+  `kubectl-patch`.
+
+The consequences are not theoretical. The seed sat at Cilium 1.19.2 for twelve
+days while the chart was on 1.20.1, and `upgrade-k8s --dry-run` shows that a
+Kubernetes upgrade in that state downgrades the CNI and switches off socket
+load balancing. Separately, `enable-bgp-control-plane` and the two
+native-routing CIDRs exist in no file at all — applied by hand, so a cold
+rebuild would have come up with BGP off while the peering CRDs in git made it
+look configured.
+
+Nothing fails when these drift. That is the whole problem.
+
+## Target state
+
+**Talos** keeps exactly this, in `talos/patches/cluster.yaml`, and gains nothing
+else:
+
+```yaml
+cluster:
+  network:
+    cni:
+      name: none
+  proxy:
+    disabled: true
+```
+
+No `inlineManifests` entry for cilium. `talos/patches/cilium-cni.yaml` is
+deleted.
+
+**Flux** owns everything else. `helmrelease.yaml` is the single source for
+every Cilium setting, including the three that were hand-patched.
+
+**A cold rebuild** installs Cilium once, by hand, between `talosctl bootstrap`
+and the Flux phase, from the same HelmRelease values. This is the cost of the
+decision and it is deliberate: the cluster no longer forms itself from the
+machine config alone. Given `bootstrap.sh talos` is already dead and Step 2 of
+RUNBOOK-cold-rebuild.md is already a manual procedure, the marginal cost is one
+documented command.
+
+## Transition
+
+The order matters, because Talos prunes what its inventory used to list and no
+longer does — removing the manifest naively deletes the CNI.
+
+1. **Track the untracked settings first.** `bgpControlPlane.enabled`,
+   `ipv4NativeRoutingCIDR`, `ipv6NativeRoutingCIDR` into the HelmRelease. Note
+   this is not a pure change of ownership: enabling bgpControlPlane through the
+   chart also emits five companion keys the hand-patch never set, so Cilium has
+   been running on its own defaults for router-id allocation. Verify the BGP
+   sessions after Flux applies it.
+
+2. **Remove cilium from `cluster.inlineManifests`.** This has no immediate
+   effect. Evidence: Talos was upgraded to 1.13.9 four days ago and Cilium
+   stayed at 1.20.1 — an OS upgrade does not reconcile bootstrap manifests.
+   Only `upgrade-k8s` does.
+
+3. **Prove the prune before running it.** `upgrade-k8s --dry-run
+   --manifests-no-prune` and confirm the 22 objects are not listed for
+   deletion. `NoPrune` is honoured by the dry run as well as the apply
+   (`pkg/cluster/kubernetes/talos_managed.go`), so this is a real test and not
+   a reading of the flag description.
+
+4. **Run `upgrade-k8s --manifests-no-prune`.** The inventory is rewritten
+   without Cilium and the objects survive. Helm is then sole owner. This is the
+   same run that takes Kubernetes 1.35.2 → 1.36.3.
+
+5. **Verify** the inventory lists no Cilium, the agents did not restart, and
+   the BGP sessions are still established.
+
+6. **Delete `talos/patches/cilium-cni.yaml`** and add the install step to
+   RUNBOOK-cold-rebuild.md.
+
+## Not part of this, and not a defect either
+
+The cluster runs `routingMode: tunnel` (the chart default, set nowhere) while
+also advertising pod CIDRs over BGP. That is not one layer too many — the two
+carry different directions:
+
+- **VXLAN** carries pod-to-pod between nodes, directly, node to node.
+- **BGP** gives the UDM routes into the pod CIDRs so traffic from the LAN can
+  reach pods. That path goes through the router by definition.
+
+Dropping the encapsulation in favour of native routing would not simplify
+anything; it would push inter-node pod traffic onto the underlay path and
+through the UDM, replacing a direct node-to-node hop with a router hop.
+
+`routingMode` being unset is still worth knowing — the current behaviour is a
+default nobody chose rather than a decision anyone recorded — but the default
+is the right one here, and this document is not the place to revisit it.

+`scripts/import-cluster-access.sh` is the supported way to get the kubeconfig

+
+The nodes will **not** reach `Ready` here. Talos is configured with `cni: none`,
+so there is no pod network until Step 2b — expect `NotReady` with
+`container runtime network not ready` and carry on.
+
+## Step 2b — cilium: install the CNI
+
+Nothing schedules without it, Flux included, so this comes before Step 3. Talos
+no longer carries a rendered copy of Cilium; `helmrelease.yaml` is the only
+place it is configured, and this installs from those same values so the cluster
+comes up on what git describes rather than on a second, drifting copy. See
+PROPOSAL-cilium-single-owner.md for why it works this way.
+
+`bootstrap.sh talos` already did this. What follows is the same thing by hand,
+for when the script stopped partway or you are not using it.
+
+Every input is read out of `helmrelease.yaml`. Nothing here is a version or a
+URL you have to keep in step with anything — copy the block as it stands:
+
+```sh
+HR=kubernetes/infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml
+
+helm repo add cilium "$(yq -r 'select(.kind == "HelmRepository") | .spec.url' "$HR")"
+helm repo update cilium
+
+yq 'select(.kind == "HelmRelease") | .spec.values' "$HR" > /tmp/cilium-values.yaml
+
+helm install cilium cilium/cilium \
+  --version "$(yq -r 'select(.kind == "HelmRelease") | .spec.chart.spec.version' "$HR")" \
+  --namespace kube-system \
+  -f /tmp/cilium-values.yaml \
+  --set prometheus.serviceMonitor.enabled=false
+```
+
+`--version` takes the HelmRelease's range verbatim; helm resolves it to the same
+release Flux would pick, so the two cannot diverge. That is the point of writing
+it this way — a pinned version in a runbook is a copy nobody maintains, and the
+next rebuild installs something the HelmRelease will immediately fight.
+
+The one literal is `serviceMonitor`, disabled for this install only: its CRD
+arrives with the monitoring stack much later and the object would fail to apply.
+Flux adds the real one once it owns the release. Nothing else is overridden,
+which is what lets helm-controller adopt this release rather than replace it.
+
+Ends when all three nodes are `Ready`.

+|---|---|---|
+| `statistics` | 11,092,586 | 2024-03-13 20:00 → current |

+
+The 2024-03-13 origin is the proof that matters. It is unchanged from the
+pre-migration count in "What is at risk" above, so the history was copied
+across engines rather than started from zero — which is the failure this
+document exists to prevent. `states` carries current rows, so `db_url` points
+at Postgres.
+
+The procedure below is kept as the record of what was done.

 **Migrate statistics only.** Copying all 18M `states` rows is slow, needs a long
 HA outage, and buys a table that is discarded within 7 days anyway.

-# mDNS relay: gives Home Assistant sight of the IoT VLAN's mDNS announcements
-# without putting a macvlan on the HA pod itself.
+# mDNS relay: holds the multicast membership on the IoT VLAN through its own
+# macvlan and forwards each datagram to Home Assistant as ordinary UNICAST UDP.
 #
-# THE PROBLEM
+# It must stay unicast. An avahi-style reflector cannot work here — Cilium runs
+# in tunnel mode without enable-multicast, so re-emitted multicast is dropped by
+# the CNI. Unicast is carried, and python-zeroconf accepts it: its datagram
+# handler checks size and duplicates but never the destination or source
+# address. RFC 6762's QU bit makes this protocol-legal rather than a trick.
 #
-# HA's zeroconf listener joins both mDNS groups on eth0 — 224.0.0.251 and
-# ff02::fb — and never hears anything on either.
-# Multicast is link-local, so IoT-VLAN announcements do not reach the pod
-# CIDR; and Cilium runs in tunnel mode (VXLAN) without `enable-multicast`, so
-# it does not replicate multicast between pods either. Both halves of the path
-# are dead, which is why an avahi-style reflector — receive on one interface,
-# re-emit as multicast on the other — cannot work here: the re-emitted packets
-# would be dropped by the CNI.
+# This restores passive reception only — announcements, including the
+# re-announce a device sends when its address changes. HA-initiated browsing
+# still dies on eth0; that would need a querier on the VLAN side, which this
+# deliberately is not.
 #
-# Consequence for HA: the ESPHome integration dials devices at the address
-# cached in its config entry. When a lease rotates, every attempt fails with
-# `[Errno 113] Connect call failed` and the device stays unreachable, because
-# the mDNS announcement that would carry the new address never arrives. New
-# devices are never discovered at all.
-#
-# THE MECHANISM
-#
-# This relay holds the multicast membership on the IoT VLAN through its own
-# macvlan (mdns-relay-network-attachment.yaml) and forwards each datagram it
-# receives to HA as ordinary UNICAST UDP. That is the one direction of travel
-# the CNI will carry.
-#
-# It works because python-zeroconf does not filter on how a packet arrived:
-# its datagram handler validates size, deduplicates, and parses, but performs
-# no check on destination address, source address, or source port. A unicast
-# datagram delivered to :5353 is processed exactly like a multicast one. (mDNS
-# unicast responses are part of RFC 6762 — the QU bit — so this is within the
-# protocol, not a trick.)
-#
-# WHAT THIS DOES AND DOES NOT RESTORE
-#
-# Restored: passive reception. RFC 6762 requires a responder to re-announce
-# when its address changes, so a device that moves to a new lease announces
-# the move, HA sees it, and the ESPHome integration updates the config entry.
-# That is the failure this exists to fix. New devices announcing themselves
-# are likewise seen.
-#
-# NOT restored: HA-initiated browsing. Queries HA sends leave on eth0 as
-# multicast and die there, so HA cannot actively solicit a response. Anything
-# depending on a query rather than an announcement stays broken. Making that
-# work needs a querier on the VLAN side, which this relay deliberately is not.
-#
-# EXPOSURE
-#
-# The receive sockets carry so-bindtodevice=net1, so only datagrams that
-# actually arrived on the IoT VLAN interface are delivered. Binding to net1's
-# address instead is not possible — it is DHCP-leased and unknown at exec time
-# — but binding to the device achieves the same confinement without needing to
-# know the address, and needs no capability: SO_BINDTODEVICE succeeds as an
-# unprivileged uid here.
-#
-# Without it socat would bind the wildcard, and since the namespace CNP grants
-# every pod in home-assistant unrestricted access to every other pod on every
-# port, any sibling pod could reach :5353 over the cluster network and have
-# records forwarded into HA's zeroconf cache.
-#
-# What remains, and cannot be closed here: any host on the IoT VLAN can send
-# this port a datagram. That is the same trust already extended to genuine
-# mDNS from that segment, which any device there can equally forge — the relay
-# widens who can reach HA's listener, not what can be claimed. macvlan traffic
-# bypasses Cilium policy entirely, so the namespace CNP does not constrain
-# this interface either way.
-#
-# Note that the relay is not what makes HA's zeroconf reachable from inside
-# the cluster: HA binds :5353 on the pod address (v4) and the wildcard (v6),
-# and the namespace CNP already permits any sibling pod to reach it directly.
-# Confining the relay removes a second route to that listener; it does not
-# remove the first.
-#
-# Nothing else is exposed: the containers run socat and only socat, with no
-# second listener to reach.
+# so-bindtodevice=net1 on both receive sockets is load-bearing: without it
+# socat binds the wildcard, and the namespace CNP lets any sibling pod reach

+#   1. Its /health answers 200 as soon as the router process listens, while the

Panels resolve each drive through node_nvme_info and node_uname_info rather than plotting the Linux device name, because NVMe enumeration order is not guaranteed to agree across machines — the same name can be a different drive on the next node. Which drive currently holds which role is in the inventory table, deliberately not in this text. Endurance comes from smartctl_exporter, whose series are labelled by node rather than by the exporter pod's IP — see the note at the bottom for what it still cannot tell you.",

The inventory table above is the live answer to what is in the machines; nothing here restates it, because prose does not get re-read when hardware is swapped.\n\n**Wear is a budget, not a prediction.** The percentage is what the drive reports against its own rated endurance. Drives do not stop at 100 — they usually keep working and start consuming spare blocks — so read it for planning, and read available spare and media errors for whether something is failing now. Those are different questions and the alert rules treat them as such.\n\n**A green top row is not a healthy drive.** Endurance says nothing about the drive that dies of a controller fault tomorrow, and this dashboard cannot see one coming.\n\nCeph keeps its own wear figures for OSDs in the devicehealth module, which is a useful cross-check but covers OSDs only: `kubectl -n rook-ceph exec deploy/rook-ceph-tools -- ceph device ls`. A drive removed from Ceph is purged from that registry and its history goes with it.\n\n**Roles are assigned in configuration, not by device name.** Talos selects the system disk and the EPHEMERAL volume by serial, Rook selects the OSD by `/dev/disk/by-id` path. Two consequences outlive any particular set of drives: a broad selector such as `disk.transport == 'nvme'` matches every drive in the box, with the installer taking the OSD as the failure mode — and a drive retired from Ceph is not necessarily out of service, and putting a worn one on EPHEMERAL is a sensible destination rather than a hazard — that volume is built to be rebuilt. Check the inventory table for what a given drive holds before reading its wear as urgent.\n\n**A dying NVMe here hangs rather than errors.** Talos boots with `nvme_core.io_timeout=4294967295`, so NVMe commands never time out. Expect a stall, not an I/O error, and expect the latency panel to go flat rather than spike.\n\n**Kernel messages are not retained.** Talos kernel logs do not reach Loki — the only log jobs are Kubernetes pods and a systemd-journal from elsewhere. `talosctl -n <node> dmesg` is the only source, it is a ring buffer, and a reboot empties it. An NVMe error from before the last reboot left no trace anywhere.",
